September 29, the train early in the morning into Yunnan. The more bright and the sky gradually, but I expect the blue sky, the delay does not appear, and my heart anxious, but added the tone with the carriage of people assure me of Dehong: "Yunnan is usually to go to eight o'clock the sun was out ......"
Kunming stations are being overhauled, a mess, direct bought tickets to the Dali. Kunming clouded over, after the bus left the city slowly from the clouds where the sun exposed face, more and more blue days.
Catch up with the repair highways, 10:30 departure, more than 300 kilometers away to open for almost six hours. The car, the legendary head of Shimonoseki blowing wind, head a people thousands of miles into the sky could not open eyes. To the mother called Xi Zizi to report that: "By Dali had!"
Shimonoseki is a new area, 4-way bus directly to the ancient city (fare 1 yuan). Light in the trees set off the road galloped out of the window left-hand side Cangshan towering sight, Youshou Bibo quiet, Bai village inhabited by bits and pieces, such as pearl-like floating down. Had just arrived, full of the beautiful vision of the future holiday mood as if it Erhai speckled golden.
A friend of the youth hostel "Yu-An Park" is located in the Tau protect the country road, only one was immediately in love with this large garden with a thatched pavilion. Standard Room 120, ordinary inter-60 (toilet, bathroom, communal), which is the peak season price, usually half of the not to.
Taking into account the day after tomorrow is 11, despite the long distances from where people have not been adjusted, is still scheduled to tour the next day the tickets Erhai Lake (Yu-An park can buy discounted tickets). To catch a good day, Jiaoyangsihuo, in the bow crazy rub sunscreen. Erhai really clean, first time, we washed a visitor to the sea Diula Ji made a temper, that middle-aged man has been accused of not dare make a sound, Excitement!
Cruise ship docked at the Butterfly Spring - Butterfly Spring is not already old scenery - the shore of the weeks directly after the ride to the city for dinner the day before yesterday, when heard that there is inhabited by Bai people come forward.
Go Coincidentally, yet casual market at noon, all the locals are buying and selling, wearing colored national costumes walked up and down. Villages are built on mountains are right there is an entrance to the village banyan tree off the ancient empty stage, color has not yet Tunjin, sharp simplicity. Along the path going up on either side are a typical Bai residential areas, brick wall, Hui Zhao ink calligraphy and painting, "Chuan clean home", simple and moving the family motto. Intersection of cow dung thatched adulterated piled indiscriminately, in the blazing midday sun emitting a strong odor. Occasionally the elderly and the dog from the side through the days really quiet.
H to stop and take pictures with the 120. I look around the small shop east west perspective, I do not know where to smoke to two little girls, looks are very cute, see I took out the camera, they immediately hid in the counter going, wait a minute did not see the shot, and then became a hippie smile. Back and forth, taking pictures of the damage I did not want to read, single-minded plays a game of hide and seek with them. H with the ranks, and we sat in a courtyard on the steps of pre-order the film, the girl from the door, stuck his head laughing, and that was their original home. Adults see us busy, and talk together, homeopathy takes out his camera to shoot a sheet, "family portrait." This time cooked, and looked off from a foothold.
Bai people love to feed get flowers, small green garden flowers, basking in the window under the glistening yellow corn stick. The door of the hut Pan raises a small black and white cows in the future production of milk sold to the local dairy factory, they can support their families. Bai people can raise two children, the family two parents and brothers live, many children and grandchildren, great joy.
Where naughty girls that have a beautiful name Qingxia, her mother approached to embarrassed to say: "the little girl would like to exchange pieces of clothes, ask you to take pictures okay?" We could wish for. A moment later, Qingxia wearing a set of clothes out of the Bai, a small man suddenly become bright and Xian Yan truly beautiful. Even more interesting is the neighbor's kids along to Zhuolai pictures, just have to go chasing all over the world, there are five little things front obediently listen to us, "mercy", with H, this is really the words of Adventure has. A return to Dali we have decided to enlarge the photo sent to Qingxia, her parents wrote back to Shanghai and expressed his thanks for writing is as much between the fraction of old-fashioned, these are the words of the post.
Dali big temperature difference between day and night, clothes with less, and the night began to fever, morning body temperature, 39 ° 5, immediately go to the hospital. Barely out the door, early in the morning the roadside and wait for a rental, dizziness not stand, people bend to the ground straight up. Previously, in the book and read about altitude sickness-induced diseases emerge all the knowledge of the whole, grew more and more afraid.
H was finally sent for three motor vehicles, vehicles in Britain in the gravel on the Dodo, the four surrounding wind pulled the canvas just as confused as to where to open, dizziness, Danjue a false world.
People's Liberation Army Hospital is home, spacious and bright, the heart at once laid down. The doctor opened the needle, then tie again suspended, and toss a half-day. Festivals, a rare leisurely Hospital, injection room, a total of three patients, quiet, I felt burning consisted in inflicting burns, I just feel feel oppressed, and giving medicine to come back with great difficulty and so H, nagging one endlessly. He laughed: "sick and you still love so to speak, it is estimated burning is not high enough."
Burned quickly back, and strength are slowly returning to Tengchong of the plan have had to give up, this whole holiday seems to only be hatched in Dali, and more than a bit of time do not know how to use every day for only in the ancient city Village East, loitering, eat drink.
"Yu-An Park" protect the country where the road is the famous "洋人街", focused on large and small bars, CAFE, it can not be good or bad, a lively bar on the map. The road east-west, western part of the sale of jewelry, silver-based. Because Yunnan is located in the border, combined with close to Tibet, can be used here than in Shanghai much cheaper price to buy a variety of good-looking objects, a girl's paradise.
In the first cross street turn right, then south, the road there are a lot of small outdoor stores, as well as spend 10 yuan a day rent a bike and car dealers. There is a consignment sale of goods of private tourists Shop, the owner is a very short hair cut woman, talking leisurely, English very good. She and an old man with a foreign joint venture in opening a home Cangshan Heights hotels, living a semi-reclusive life.
If you do not turn, protect the country along the road has been eastward, cross the street right before the first record store must go to see friends said. Facade little up and down the second floor, the little girl sitting all day filled with CD Yang a small sofa, put different music to listen to different guests, I can almost suspicions about in their stores can be found in all styles of music around the world . There is no counter-offer, but business is very good.
Out of record stores, and then east, there is a revival of intersection less than a bakery, in three or four o'clock every afternoon, to buy only the fresh-baked pastries. I can responsibly say that everything about delicious!
Comparing the civilian population of Fuxing Road, we usually go there in the supermarket to buy daily necessities, and then an open-air flower market in the street pick a bunch of fresh daisies, two money a lot, go back and plug in the mineral water bottle, placed in the windowsill smug.
Fuxing Road, Dali City Museum and the south there is the Confucian Temple to the north there is the Catholic Church, are on the first place.
After a recovery path, protecting the country road and then east, not the taste of foreigners, and you begin to see the real marble.
That afternoon without incident, aimlessly along the road, across large areas of farmland, until you come to Lake Erhai side. Two large vessels filled with crafts day after the rest of Vietnam. Men and women together, the men talk, women on one side quietly Zhimao Yi.
Sit there and read a while scenery, think of the sea to the other side.
Back on the road, enthusiastic driver to take us to a place called the sea tongue. It was originally an artificial edge of Erhai Lake Park has long been abandoned, but give birth to some of the natural temperament. After a work time and gatekeepers sheepishly collected two dollars, they are enough to make we want to stay long to stay long.
The reason is called "sea-tongued", is really a Long Beach, out into the sea, the severe disability, uneven humilis stopped the road, gingerly walked the tongue at the end of the sea, the world suddenly quiet down.
Everywhere around, and the sky and the sea-Ju is deeply shallow gray blue, clouds shadow between the rich tone of speech difficult to portray the transition. Almost dusk, the sun is still a matter of fact clouds, the clouds occasionally blooming, golden sunlight, such as mercury-like Zhixie down in the sea to cast a halo group untrue.
The wind is blowing from Haidong, broad layers of the sea Dangqi waves, lush seagrass embankment side issue that Shakes the Barley as magnificent sound, blowing ashore, the Qing Caowei clip wrapped Xianrun in our ears frivolous to play a whistle , a Benjin the woods behind the dwarf. Those trees grow on waist-deep water, raw exceptionally demon Rao. A moment later, the birds of the woods, and the side of another group, the sound sometimes gently, sometimes clear, and jagged, as if the dialogue.
Sat on the floor, bathed in the Teana, the actually feel aphasia.
Tongue out from the sea had been late, there is a light across the horizon, faintly heard thunder. Waited for a long time before the car, I sat in the window seat, watching the sky go dark quickly, Cangshan outline gradually deep, dark stretch for dozens of years, much overwhelming momentum. Raytheon closer and closer, unexpectedly, a lightning exploded in the hillside at thrilling to come. The first time I saw lightning so close to, the shape is like the sequence of leaves, color, bright purple.
Light along the foot of the fast opening the road on both sides of Ju is the open fields, scattered light of the almost helpless distant. Into the mountain has no clouds, lightning and then a one, at the moment more like a car where the fish stayed in the dragnet. Incoming rain, I closed the window and look back at H. The car did not turn on the lights, he was in the final in a row, local people crowded into a large basket of small bag, dim light on inside seemed a bit ridiculous. Suddenly remembered last year from Hanoi to Hue in the way, there are so had each other kind.
Back to the ancient city, rain gradually smaller,洋人街's still crowded, Jiusi lights as bright as day, bustling and do those for the purpose of high-nose deep foreigners, and transvestites, I do not know why they know these visitors. Earlier this vehicle prices and a warm lights flash, people actually have to Yinyun heart of aversion.
Map large areas of Erhai Lake in the east and one to see who Xinyangnanjin. There are two walking down the law inquiries: from the ancient city of the north and then east Eryuan first, or first Shimonoseki and then dig up car color, we have chosen the latter. In fact this is the best route, car even before the opening along the side of Erhai Lake, scenery worthy of a good match with the Vietnamese coastline, all the way to make a fool Machine Gu holding blind photos.
Dali drivers who take the initiative to help customers unloading luggage, detours have to put a man at the door, the attitude of a good beyond our imagination. One after another under the light of the passengers, the driver asked us which of the two, we dug a matter of course to say that color Township, ah, strange turn of the driver: "Here are digging color Township, which village you go to?"
Pity we do not Huiguo Shen, the driver pulled a Po said: terminal to the! Out of the car, eyes a row of ash-scarred houses, a dirty basketball courts, a bathhouse not far from there, the door two scary people read: accommodation. Are ignored its Office, a few small black lying on the iron gate on the red to our loud shout: "Good morning, teacher!" I heard a music, can not help to answer: "Good afternoon!" Wow, a group of monkey skin to laugh, tense mood so miraculously relaxed.
Dusk enveloped Shino, golden fields of wheat collected a half, carriages on the road pull-off, scattered a land tassel. Not down the sun, the moon has already risen to head the sky is still very blue.
In the village of dirt roads extending in all directions, everywhere is the heartbeat of the old house. Brains, I would like to spend the night in local homes, with both Aunt cotton, they are almost willing to receive a pity that our body dressed stranger raised concerns about the village elders and eventually let the matter rest. No way, re-called back the county motor vehicles, in the county government hostel stay there. This is only a local "hotel", no running water, no bathroom, the toilet had to go out right next door to the county government compound, plus Shangcuanxiatiao across a site.
Settle down to go out to eat. No lights, farther black, had ran into the grocery store to buy flashlights. 2 clerk informed us to travel, one that is best at night Bieluan Pao, the other hastened to say Do not listen to his nonsense all right. Dao Shi saw the night under the Erhai Lake, endless waves with silver moonlight, hearts to support those two men could be perturbed to say the motivation to nostalgia landscape, anxious to go back.
After a big house, surprised to find that the door hangs a sign reading "champion and third," the plaque, according to a flashlight, richly ornamented, dignified, and I do not know what North Korea which generations of scenery, tut enrapture some.
Go back to hotel entrance, only to find the original guest houses, hotels on the self-employed. Called the extra dishes, drinking wine, I do not know is the comfort or self-comforting, H said that this was the safest place in town: "You want to Yeah, the county government guest house, sleeping, when I do not know how many police in secret to protect We do ? ? "straight out of my nose, air-conditioning:-leave-it, this ghost place, playing to open over 110 police vehicles had to for hours!
The shop girl to help treat people is very enthusiastic, some tea from time to time delivery melon seeds, finished trouble also greeted us watch TV while chatting while inquire about how old I am married No, I was interested to ask her surprise, she went so far as the small I am two years old, there is a toil weathered face.
Guest houses, stairs, floors are all wood, and walked straight Gazhigazhi ring. Dao Shi spacious rooms, television went so far as can be used, the bed is probably N years, no one slept, sheets slightest burst of ash, did not dare look closely, sneaking into the sleeping bag cover inside straight lay all night.
Dali's moon particularly great room off the lights shining white of one, although the stay in the mountains so far horns Gala Li Tiao water, or how afraid.
The next day back to Yu-An Park, Golden Week is over, prices have dropped to normal levels, hair re-done back to her taking a bath, go洋人街expel a meal, sitting in street cafes Chibaohezu scenery viewed life really beautiful.
Prior to Dali, based in Shanghai, the bridge noodle eating a variety of Daxing, we kept the light of food in Yunnan impression. In fact, cross the bridge noodle only in Kunming only, though a hundred times more delicious than that in Shanghai, but how to see how, as brought to coax foreigners. Dali, who eat very ordinary noodle or Ersi, on a small sand pot, add vegetables, minced meat, all kinds of spices, taste delicious incomparable. Dali's cuisine can be divided into two kinds of non-spicy and very spicy, the former representative is a casserole series, casserole fish, tofu casserole, etc., etc., while the latter is played to the extreme of the barbecue. Dali on the streets, every evening, the size barbecue stalls opened for business one after another, a bunch of money, the full amount that we eat every day before dinner, we must do to buy Shanghaojichuan appetizer. At the end, simply draw one night, take barbecue when the dinner, eat Zhenzhen satisfied.
Dali leaving the day before a week off for the next rain finally stopped, and we pack the two Yunnan horses, a front and rear, playing immediately Cangshan. The first section of the road up the mountain relatively flat, but also in front of groom holding, I also feel quite good to play. Gradually steep mountain, Ma Fusong open hand so that horses find their own path, I suddenly the spirit of a high degree of tension and the hoop desperately posing with his saddle, lest it lose my temper when the old one walk away dispensers. We walk the horses Road, down the many days of rain, mountain as early as extremely muddy. H happens lively horse riding to death, walked to go eat, go fast, I have a Pilipala splashing mud. Up to the mountainside, I am down from his horse, covered with mud ideas do not say my legs with the butt is not his.
Eat rice, I strongly urge the Commission to sit down rope, but H is riding the elated, groom more on one side to guarantee a big hit, I do not want to be timid they said, had to bite the bullet and agreed to down. The results did not down a few minutes, I Taihushangdang. Wake up had never been seen before, in fact, a little up the hill all right, down the mountain can be called terrible Na. Horses, like people, encountered bad place to go they will put aside their own Ma pick path, but also Lianbengdaitiao's. My groom's instructions as far as possible in accordance with the body thrown back, his legs before the tread, people have posted about on horseback, and felt like jumping in the carnival ride inside machine, I do not know what Xia Yimiao fall. On several occasions Horseshoe skid, it seems to be turning the whole person with a horse go to the extreme of terror. Finally down to the base of the mountain, H turned around and asked me afraid, I said that there was anything呀! He laughed: "also fooling, just down the mountain when you do not see your face pale?"
Take night train to sleep woke up went to Kunming. We stay in Kunming, time is very short, the basic is spent eating the above, also went to the Southwest site and Yuantong Temple. United Nations General Assembly is now the Yunnan Normal University, leaving only a memorial, I can only be of interest to literary stories to the books to find. About Yuantong Temple, I remember reading where a pair seems to a certain extent, with the Red House Lane, then turn the somersault some months past is not necessarily monks. Know where to catch up with 15, temple incense and flourishing. Hurriedly turn full circle, this temple architecture in the Islamic style. Cuan saw action inside the head of a young monk Yuho very devout Buddhist worship to pray for each block and can not help all the way to follow him, and hope to have the opportunity to talk with two. Results down the back of the mountain, he was a sideways into the temple, but the door was written into the idler Mo. I Yi Zheng, think of threshold, the threshold beyond words, and my heart melancholy.
Some people on the train back to Shanghai concealment was found unconscious in the toilet, the train station in Xuanwei stopped a long time, marshals searched all over the world, the atmosphere suddenly tense. During this period there was a woman in Xinjiang faces here to inquire about the soft sleeper carriage, the door has been stopped in the dining car back, and later heard that that is one of the drug traffickers. Our box inside a pair of Suzhou old couple retired and return home, the old man quite funny, and asked if his wife rushed to see us as a drug dealer hostage, how should I do? His wife said: I do not tell them desperately in! "Hard?" The old man a look of disdain: "We both (referring to he and H) probably still be fighting a struggle, you? On the other chaos of the bar!" To see if he is right now is really like, I can not help哈哈big laugh: "You is not think retirement is too boring, and wanted to come to point of stimulation ah?"
